If you like an artist's original work and characters vs. commissioned work: ko-fi and patreon donations are *the only way* to free up that artist's time to do more of it. Even small tips are really important. If even 20 people donated $5 to me right now, I'd still have $100. It adds up.

This is a great time to remind everyone that you should in fact, still be calling MasterCard, Visa, Stripe, and other payment processors to annoy the shit out of them.

There's a UK adult games creator on reddit who's been rejected from 36(!) and counting UK banks and unable to process the earned £90,000. Debanking for adult creators continues to be a real threat.

Commission for @chennield.bsky.social of her boy Grey and @missmusain.bsky.social 's boy Aurel!

Behind the scenes commentary will be in the replies <3

#DragonAge #OCs #DAOC #Elf #Qunari #DATV #Commission #Illustration

Halfbody colored illustration of a Qunari and Elf. They appear to have been arguing, as the Elf has grabbed the Qunari by the lapels of his vest and yanked him down to be closer to eachother's level. However, the Qunari has his chin lifted defiantly and is smirking down at the rightfully irritated Elf.

Commissioned by @grimnyr.bsky.social during the Summer Colors event. This piece was a fun challenge, and I'm proud of the end results, even if posting was delayed due to some irl events.

Katsuro comes from Grim's personal sandbox, a universe with delightful world building and divine dragon.

Colored illustration of Katsuro, a man blessed by a divine dragon god and renowned for his martial skills in combat as well as his impressive lightning magic.

The man wears his long red hair up in a combination of braids and loose hair, tied back in a bun with a long, flowing tail. The wind whips it back, with snow frosting the edges of the canvas and casting him in a frosty light. One golden eye is visible and casts a faint golden glow, highlighting his features while he glares down at the viewer with one arm extended, flickering with recently discharged electrical sparks.

His armor is simple in is color scheme; he wears mostly black, with a red sash and crushed opal inlays accenting his attire.
